The attic is the room the homeowner keeps for themselves — the private space above the rest of the home, the room closest to the sky. The copper piece that makes the most personal room in the home feel as considered as the person who uses it.

The Copper Argument for the Attic
The attic is the room that most benefits from warmth — and copper is the warmest material in the catalog.
The sloped ceiling, the exposed beam, the dormer window — the attic can feel cold, enclosed, and disconnected from the rest of the home. The copper panel changes this. The warm tone of copper brings warmth into the attic — the hammered surface catching and reflecting the light of the dormer window, the finish warm in the intimate atmosphere of the roof space.
The copper panel in an attic does not just decorate the wall. It changes the atmosphere of the entire space — the room that was cold becomes warm, the room that was enclosed becomes intimate, the room that was raw becomes considered.
Feature Wall Ideas
Attic Feature Wall Panel The copper panel on the primary wall of the attic room — the surface that defines the character of the entire space.
The attic feature wall in copper is the installation that makes the attic feel as considered as the most personal room in the home. A large-format celestial composition — the stars, the moon, the night sky — rendered in deep copper relief, the sky above the attic made permanent in copper on the attic wall. A botanical composition — the tree, the branch, the leaf — rendered in copper, the natural world at the top of the home. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish — the copper speaking through the material alone, the attic as a warm, intimate surface that makes the roof space feel as considered as the person who uses it. The occupant's name in copper letterforms — the attic named for the person who uses it, the most personal room in the home named in copper. A creative composition — the palette, the brush, the instrument — the tools of the creative tradition rendered in copper for the attic studio.
Gable End Wall Panel A copper panel on the triangular gable end wall of the attic — the most architecturally specific surface in the attic, the wall that follows the pitch of the roof.

The copper makes the most personal room in the home feel as designed as the most public one — and the stars above the desk make every session feel as ambitious as the sky they reference." — Natuross customer
